As first reported by Forbes, it beat out the previous record holder: 2022's Resident Evil, which scored 26% with audiences, and was cancelled after its first season.
It is unlikely that the mainline series of The Witcher will be cancelled any time soon, considering it is still one of the biggest shows on the platform, but don't count on any other spin-off shows following up this one, especially considering the critical reviews:
Empire - "You’ll be less likely to toss a coin to this Witcher than throw rotten fruit. Its few graces aren’t enough to save it. Skip and cross fingers this doesn’t bode ill for The Witcher Season 3."
Roger Ebert - "Despite its undeniable production values, everything about Blood Origin feels minor. There’s a romance that’s bland despite the charisma of its stars, and Driver and Yeoh aren’t given nearly enough to do. ... It’s for hardcore fans only, and even they will be bored."
The Daily Beast - "The show’s derivativeness falls somewhere between depressing and embarrassing."
Ouch.
Should you want to, The Witcher: Blood Origin is available to watch on Netflix right now:
